Maya or Maya LT for character creation?

Yea sure.
But this is essentially the same decision to use a windows desktop over Linux.
Which one works better?
It’s 100% not going to be windows. For a billion reasons.

While the reason we all use windows even though Linux is a billion times better is software compatibility…

This reason doesn’t exist between Maya and Blender

Both software can perform the same tasks - some better, some worse. Depending.

Anything sub 10b tris works just fine in blender.
But it does need to be taken elsewhere to work if you intend to exceed the amount of tris.

For instance.
There’s no point in waiting an hour to sculpt in blender when Zbrush can do the same thing instantly and with out destruction of pre-existing layer.

Blender will eventually get there too. Especially after the infusion of $ from the mega grant - or whatever it was. Directed donation?

So you are correct that it isn’t wrong to choose one or the other, but there’s also no real reason aside from personal preference or known skills to make that choice.
